As a lifelong Millwall supporter who.s been through every scenario connected to the biggest small club in the world i cannot express the loss of our great chairman and our hearts go out to his wonderful family the legacy J.B left will NEVER be forgotten i.m guessing GOD needed him so on his passing from us a massive thank-you for the precious time you gave to MILLWALL & its supporters RIP
I am devastated to have heard of the sad passing of Jon Berylson 'our Chairman'. A man I have never met has left a lasting impression on me, my family and fellow supporters of Millwall Football Club. A true leader of our time who was committed and passionate about everyone involved with Millwall. My thoughts are with the Beryson family at this sad time, god bless you John X
I too am a lifelong Millwall supporter who has experienced a feeling of overwhelming sadness ever since the news of John's passing broke. This is not borne out of fear for the future of my club but emanates from an overwhelming sense of loss of a truly great man. There exist few people who make a lasting impression on the lives of those he touched, but John was one of those. Sleep well.
You picked us up when we were down. Stayed loyal to us and loved us when no one else cared. As a lifelong Millwall fan of almost 50 years, I can honestly say you were the best chairman we have had. It is not easy to earn the love and affection of Millwall supporters, but you did in abundance. My sincere condolences to all your friends and family. RIP Mr Chairman.
As a lifelong Millwall Supporter and Season Ticket holder I am devastated to hear the passing of this great man. Thank you John for the guidance and support for our wonderful club .You will be greatly missed.

He Loved us when we were hard to Love ???? There are a few good men, but JGB was one of the Few. Thank you to the Berylson family for sharing John with us. The most precious thing he gifted to us was his time, I feel so utterly sad that the Berylson family have now been robbed of time to spend with with this True Gentleman. JGB will never be forgotten at Millwall FC. “Get it Done” JGB??
I am a lifelong supporter of Millwall, the Lions of the South. Over the years, supporting Millwall, I have seen Chairmen come and go, but never had I witnessed anything like John. I only spoke to him for about ten minutes, but I was enormously impressed by his knowledge R.I.P John, a true Millwall legend. Thank you for all you did, your legacy will live on.

Rest in peace, John and condolences to your family. He was a bright light that descended into Southeast London and took over our club no one likes us. However you fell in love with us and we fell in love with you. you will never be forgotten and will remain in our hearts.
A man that saw our club for what it was and embraced us as part of his extended family. The greatest chairman in our clubs history. He’ll never be forgotten by those of us who’ve witnessed his kindness, generosity and Lions spirit. A terrible loss to his family who I hope take some solace in how loved JGB is by everyone in our club. He was a great man.
An enormous loss for his family and of course his extended family at Millwall Football Club. I cant think of a single individual who has had such a lasting impact on our club. I am sorry that we never met so that I could thank you in person for all of your hard work and generosity. The world is poorer for your passing but richer for your life. God Bless Mr. Chairman.
A man who was loved and treasured by so many. No amount of words can justify the pure greatness this man symbolised for so many people across the globe. A selfless man who knew no boundaries to his generosity, love and kindness. A man that will forever be held in legendary status at Millwall. We will miss you. John Berylson, once our chair man. Always our chair man. Rest your soul Sir JB
Thank you for all you have done for our football club. You are irreplaceable, and will remain in our hearts for all time. My heartfelt condolences to your family.
God bless John Berylson, as a Millwall supporter for nearly 60 year, I can honestly say J.B was the best chairman this club has had.
A true gentleman that was loved by everyone at the Den, I can't believe he has passed and the sad loss we all feel.
Condolences to his family.
As a proud Millwall supporter of 36years and son of another of 70years, I was truly devasted to hear of John’s passing. My daughter now plays for Millwall Lionesses and we all remain proud members of the Millwall Family. ‘Mr Chairman’ was for 17 years at the head of our family. JB came along a knight in shining armour and saved our club. We will be forever grateful. Thank you sir.
Thank You JB for all that you gave to us. The best Chairman we ever had we were truly blessed when you came to our club. Thank You to the Berylson family for sharing you husband, father, grandfather with his other family across the pond. God bless you at this time and your terrible loss. We will never forget this great man and will be forever grateful for the time we shared with him.R.I.P
A remarkable man and a true gent, the type you just don’t see anymore, love and thoughts to family and friends at this time especially the grandchildren, who it seems john loved without measure.

My deepest condolences to Johns family and friends. We at Millwall were so lucky to have had such a man as John as Chairman and a friend to all of us at Millwall. A corner of Bermondsey will always be Johns. We have lost one of our own. RIP
A few years ago at The Den John posed for a picture with my son and also made time to speak to me. I shook his hand and thanked him for all he was doing for the club. Top guy and a true Lion, it was a privilage to have met him. Deepest sympathy to the Berylson family. RIP John.
John You was the best chairman we ever had and ever will! Seeing you last game of the season just showed how much love we had for you and your dedication! RIP MR JB (CHAIRMAN)
Mr Chairman, thank you for all that you done for our club. The many times I had the pleasure to meet you, you were always such a joy to speak to. The time you took to talk to jack my 7 year old at the time and have a picture with him. The world lost a true great. RIP Mr Chairman forever a lion
From the bottom of my heart - I’d like to pass my condolences onto the Berylson family.
JB came to our club as an outsider and ended up leading our pack of Lions.
RIP JB - you will be missed by so many
Sincerest condolences to the Berylson family. What a man,what a legend! To come take on our club in its time of need and put it on a path to greatness showed guts and guile.

I cannot express enough what Johns legacy will be to my little club. Even though I never met him it feels like I have lost a member of my family. My sincere condolences go out to his family. RIP Mr Chairman
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for the loss of our greatest ever chairman. Millwalls loss is enormous but falls into insignificance when comparing it to his family and our thoughts and prays are with them in this difficult time. John played a pivotal role is shaping Millwall and its legacy. His dedication, vision and commitment to Millwalls success will be remembered.
Sometimes thank you isn’t enough. Rest in peace John, the man who gave us our roar back. My thoughts are with your family
To John’s family please accept my sincerest condolences, his family was his world and he will always be with you by your side. For me as a Millwall fan it’s difficult to put into words what he has done for our club, he saved us, grew to love us and we will always love him. He will be a legend in this part of South East London forever and his legacy will live on. RIP JB x
John came to us in 2006 and left us in 2023. In those 17 years you became a part of the fabric of Millwall FC. You brought us from the depths of despair to the edge of glory and in between devoted you ernegy to the club, endeared yourself to our supporters, but most of all, gave us yourself. To your family, deepest and sincerest condolences,you have lost a great man Forever a LION. RIP
